Cheap ways to carry Boostane?

[justinator]

2.5 oz is only good for 5 gallons.... its 1/2 oz per gallon moves 4 numbers.... always do a little more for safety because you never know the TRUE octane of fuel in the ground as with prices now adays the premium fuel... if sitting in tanks for any length of time will loose its strength... 91 might be 89 or 94 might be 91, soo my rule is 1/2 oz to a gallon and you know your safe.

1/2 oz per gallon moves 8-9 numbers, not 4. I have the calculator on my phone from the boostane site and it does the math for you. 1/2 oz per gallon raises 91 to 99 octane. .26 oz per gallon raises 91 to 94. Yes a little extra for margin isnt bad because your correct in saying that its impossible to know what your actually getting but the negative effects of mmt will become apparent much sooner if used in higher doses all the time.Higher doses good for lake race days, otherwise keeping an eye on datalogs will help with figuring out a good average mix ratio to keep timing retard at bay.

#*$&@ im doing to Canadian gallon.... which is 4.5 ltrs compared to US which is 3.7 ltrs., because our pumps are in liters, i broke it dwn to per liter. then multiplied by 4.5. to equal a gallon. plus im going 5 numbers increase for safety... thats why ive been always using a 1/2 oz per 4.5 ltrs

Yes,Thats what I said lol, .26oz per gallon x 10 gallons is 2.6 oz total.

I stand corrected. My apologies.

Bang on. That phone app does the calculations for you.

I find it amazing on how little amount of Boostane is needed compared to some of the other boosters. Why Boostane works so well is beyond me, but it sure does work really well I'll give them that.

Haha all good!

Feels good to buy a product that does as advertised, not as common today as it used to be thats for sure.

I use a 20 oz MSR liquid fuel bottle. Never had an issue.

Just an observation: The app doesn't always give the same answer as their boost chart, sometimes yes, sometimes no (they are similar but not the same). Also, keep in mind that the total mixture is additive in volume, meaning that if you add 10 gallons to the tank and you want to raise your octane from 87->101 you will need room for another 98 ounces (.75 Gallon) of boostane.

Ounces per liter chart below- I know, sacrilege to mix references but the app switches from ounces to recommended percentage of the bottle (.11 bottle).

The below is at least is consistent with the gallons chart and ounces are an easier reference in the field vs percentage of a bottle. Also the app is very buggy when calculating for liters, for instance, open the app, enter 50 as the value and switch from gallons to liters and it will not let you choose 87 octane as the base, it starts at 91, but okay, choose 100 as the target octane and it calculates 1.12 bottles or 35.84 ounces. Then quit the app completely (kill it) restart and enter 13 gallons (approx 50 liters) and it calculates 23.68 ounces. I sort of narrowed the bug down for them and will report it but for now, the below chart is more accurate than the app.

Lol at carrying around a whiskey flash loaded with something that has a pungent odor to it.


No mr sherrif/dnr/fish cop it's just octane booster

 

[Doc Harley]

I carry a couple 2 oz glass bottles in my pocket every day inside a zip lock bag. Never have leaked.

I think I may have followed your lead on the 2 oz bottles. Well, except for the plastic part. Yes Plastic!! 10 for like $12+/-
Marked them at .5oz intervals. Enough to give 8gals of fuel a 3+/- digit boost.
But in all honesty, probably won't get used much, in the trails. Only as needed on the lakes when confronted by a demon whom needs to be exercised....lol.

 

[max rolph]

ive always done the math as 1/2 oz to a imp gallon/.11 per ltr... which changes 91-97 or 87-93, just because you never know the age of fuel in tank and 91 might not be 91 exactly because of age or ethanol, soo even if it was 87-90 octane then you still will be safe at 93-96 treated.

 

[Turboflash]

Just easy for me to remember and calculate .26 oz per gallon at each gas stop. I always run it so whatever gas is left in my tank is at same mixture.
I bet many of us have stories about pumps that were labeled as "91" but after filling up found out very fast that it wasn't!
I think some places deliberately cheat, some don't know what they're getting from their supplier, and some don't care. I bet they figure they can sell 87 (or worse) for 91 and no one will know.

I am using Boostane Professional just as a safety measure in case I get bad fuel. I really don't need higher than 91 octane with my TD PowerTrail tune. Anyway, I have come up with a pretty cheap, easy solution. I bought a pack of 10 of the plastic mini liquor bottles. I had to drink the liquor to make them usable... LOL. Rinsed them out with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol). Each bottle is 1.8 oz and is which is enough Boostane Professional to raise 6.5 gallons of 91-octane to 94-octane. These bottles fit well in a Masterforce small parts bag that I got from Menards. I think I can fit 5-6 of them in the bag. I have put the bottles in individual mini zip-lock bags and then in the small parts bag and did not have a single drop leak last season. I'll have to see if I have any pics of them.

PSA: Got an email back from Boostane today (founder), they are aware the app needs some attention and recommend using the charts.

What is the issue that I am missing here, they sell the 4oz bottles. Do they not hold up in a rear bag?
